Fairer Futures Fund – Small Grants to Localities

 



In October 2024 NNS Sutton Coldfield will be launching a grant scheme to community groups called the Fairer Futures Locality Small Grants Fund.

In partnership with colleagues from Erdington NNS (Witton Lodge Community Association) and our mutual partner Compass Support, we will support our local community groups to apply for funding of up to £15,000 per year for three years from the North Locality allocation of the fund.

For groups in Sutton Coldfield you must apply to the fund through our NNS team based at ACB, Boldmere office. For groups in Erdington you must apply through the team at Witton Lodge and for groups making an application in either constituency under the ‘best start in life’ theme you can apply for support from Compass Support. If you are considering an application across both constituencies, please contact the NNS team most local to you.   

Support to be provided to community organisations to produce high quality bids and develop sufficient evaluation to ensure that impact is measured.

Four Thematic Areas for bids

·       Best Start in Life

·       Healthier Lives in Communities

·       Better outcomes through earlier identification and treatment

·       Empowering and Connecting Communities

If your community organisation has ideas that might fit with one of these themes and you have capacity, experience, knowledge and infrastructure to deliver a 1 – 3 year project, either in Sutton Coldfield, Erdington or across both constituencies, then please send an email with a short expression of interest and we will update you with more details in October:
